Young to start for winless Titans

Sports Network | October 29, 2009

Nashville, TN (Sports Network) - Tennessee Titans head coach Jeff Fisher revealed after Thursday's practice session that quarterback Vince Young will start against Jacksonville on Sunday.

Young, the third overall pick in 2006, gets the nod over incumbent Kerry Collins in the wake of the club's disappointing 0-6 start.

The switch comes a few days after Titans owner Bud Adams lobbied for Young to take over under center.

Young has played sparingly since last September's season-opener, with Collins having started 20 of the past 21 games.

Collins, who guided the Titans to a league-best 13-3 record a year ago, has completed 108-of-197 passes for 1,071 yards with five touchdowns and eight interceptions.

In two appearances this season, Young is 0-for-5 with an interception.
